Transform directives and syntax

IBM Infoprint XT for z/OS
GI11-9492-01

You can set these transform directives:

-d jobdir | resdir
Specifies the type of information that you want to capture for a specific job. jobdir specifies that transform processing should capture all files in the working directory for the job. resdir specifies that transform processing should capture all files in the resource directories for the job. This includes the informational files, and the AFP resources. The location of the output that this transform captures depends upon how you specify this directive. For example if you use the AIOZ2AFP utility program, it goes to the Infoprint XT DEBUG DD statement. For an example of a DEBUG DD statement, see Figure 1. For details about capturing service information, see the Capturing service information.

You can specify the -d directive more than one time, with different options. The effect is cumulative.

-e 'exitname argument...'
Specifies an argument or arguments that Infoprint XT passes to a transform application exit. exitname specifies the name of the transform application exit. Enclose the application exit name and the argument string in single quotation marks. See Working with the base Infoprint XT application exits for more information.

You can specify the -e directive more than one time, with different options. If you specify multiple -e directives for the same transform application exit, Infoprint XT sends all of the arguments to the application exit.

-j0 | -j1
Specifies whether Infoprint XT enables online processing of carriage controls in the job. -j1 enables online processing. -j0 disables online processing. The default is that Infoprint XT does carriage-control processing for online jobs.
-k0 | -k1
Specifies whether Infoprint XT retains the working directory for the job after the data stream conversion process completes. The working directory for the job is /var/pdxt/jobs/jobname-jobid-n, where n is a unique sequence number. A value of -k0 causes Infoprint XT to delete the working directory after conversion completes; this is the default. A value of -k1 causes Infoprint XT to retain the working directory. If you specify the -k directive by more than one method, Infoprint XT uses the last value. See Activating transform directives for the order in which Infoprint XT checks for transform directives.
Note: The delete function of the -k directive only applies to working directories that Infoprint XT creates. If you specify the working directory with the -w directive, Infoprint XT does not delete it.
-t TraceType ...
Specifies how Infoprint XT traces a job as it flows through the conversion process. Infoprint XT writes all output from the -t directive to the working directory for the job. Valid values are:
x2afp.in
Saves a copy of the original Xerox job.
x2afp.out
Saves a copy of the AFP job generated by data stream conversion.
x2afp
Saves both the original Xerox job and the generated AFP job.
aioxlxie.in
Saves the Xerox input data sent to the aioxlxie application exit.
aioxlxie.out
Saves the Xerox output generated by the aioxlxie application exit.
aioxlxie
Saves both the input to, and the output from, the aioxlxie application exit.
aioxlxoe.in
Saves the AFP input data sent to the aioxlxoe application exit.
aioxlxoe.out
Saves the AFP output data generated by the aioxlxoe application exit.
aioxlxoe
Saves both the input to, and the output from, the aioxlxoe application exit.
Note: Multiple occurrences of the -t directive are cumulative. For example, you can specify -t aioxlxie.in with the PDXTX2AFP_DIRECTIVES environment variable, and specify -t aioxlxie.out with the -t command option attribute. In this case, Infoprint XT saves both the input to, and the output from, the aioxlxie application exit. You can also specify more than one value on a single occurrence of the -t directive.
-x 'transformparameters'
Specifies conversion parameters. Any parameters that you specify with this directive override the same parameters if you specify them with other methods. For example, -x transform parameters override the same parameters if you specify them with the SYSIN DD or EXEC JCL statements, or with the -x option of the pdxtx2afp command.
Note: Do not use this directive to specify parameters, such as xjdl and xjde, for your production environment. However, you can use this directive to temporarily override the production environment during testing.
